naah only joking.

but there is..little events that come together and if its you in the right place at the right time.badda bing!

so here is the small story of the magic bincolulars.

My 5 years old feels ready for some binos and with xmas on the horizon, well closer actually I finally stepped out to go buy.

had a great day actually, oysters at the zenoria warehouse joint,cool dude there,did most of my shopping in the place.

But really i was still confused by my previous experience. See, I went to the hellhole that is argos on the rye lane.

I couldnt face going through the catalogues and my friend had said 'youll get em in there' but as we didnt get out the herne till 6, just didnt make it yesterday. I was just about to get on a train to town when i spotted curry's a bit further down.

Thought id pop in. Asked a young lady, a bright eyed large girl with quite honestly the worst 'promotional' t shirt ive ever seen. Sony panasonic, all the names on the one shirt. That in itself was odd. She says' yes we have binoculars' great! and there we are in front of a shelf load. Awesome. I pointed to a pair of quite pro looking black 'bushnells' 49.99 quid. There were cheaper ones but i always go by 'if I want them myself' standards. Not the 14 quid ones. I asked to have a go. Sure she said. I took the lens caps off and looked out the door. whoah! they were good! Im thinking well lets see what some of the others are like but i like these. I heard a voice say 'they are 7 p'. I kind of ignored it. I thought I swear thats my girl there just said that, I looked up at her and sge was saying "they are 7p". Feeling outrage i said what? to look through them is 7p? she said 'no' they are 7p.' I actually said 'am i awake?' She said 'yes'. In fact she also siad 'if you dont buy them im going to'. I now know Ive accidently eaten acid I didnt know I still have and am tripping my nuts off. Thats when she swung the flatscreen of the till so i could see for myself it did indeed say 0.07 pence. I have the magic binos and a printed reciept from curry's says 0.07 pence.. i said to the sparkly eyed black skinned 19 year old sweetheart, 'you actually are father christmas in disguise arent you!' felt like the oddest thing Id ever said to anyone .She laughed and said, there's a few items here we are not restocking and so we are selling them off cheap.i spotted these myself yesterday.


Go Curry's people, there could be more! digi cmaeras are very well discounted in there. good ones..

Not being a grump, but sounds like a bit of an error! If their price ends is xxx.x9 then it's their retail price and you can negotiate a bit. If it's xxx.x8 then it's first stage of markdown, and no discounts allowed. The xxx.x7 is the final discount price... Good on yer though!

    • If you are looking for a trustworthy professional, I highly recommend Niko. He has consistently delivered quality work. No job is too small, and he is always accommodating. He has helped me out on a number of occasions, often at short notice when unexpected issues arose. His number is 07818 607583. 
    • Well, they do turn them away from the A&E route at Kings and rightly so they employ GPs and if after triaging you’re determined to have a GP type problem you are sent to see one of the GPs on site or close to the site. 
    • My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.
    • Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
